Fan's current research focuses on understanding epigenetic mechanisms that regulate neural cell differentiation and adult brain function. He and his colleagues utilize molecular and genetic approaches to investigating how DNA cytosine methylation and its associated components, which include methyl-CpG binding proteins and histone modification enzymes, regulate neural gene expression, cell-lineage differentiation and neural plasticity in development and aging.
